Meatboy's Gallery (requests taken)

Like Frukatha said, I really like your style.

In particular I'm especially fond of your coloring -- both in color and the sepia tones -- and the way you give the drawings a slightly cartoony sketchy quality, while still retaining a modest amount of realism... Each character has an unique personality that's obvious at a glance, and yet you don't need to be blatantly or excessively outlandish with their poses, expressions, costumes or equipment to achieve that effect.

Well done.


I've got an Iron Heroes game beginning sometime this fall... Once I get some good character write-ups and descriptions for my players, I may have to pass them along to you and see what you come up with.

@ Frukatka
Sure I'd love to have a go at it. I'll need a link to the cat folk though. Though I know what cat people look like I don't know what the features are of these particular ones.

@ Pbartender
Thanks man. I still have a long, long way to go with my art. I definately don't practice enough. I try hard to make sure my pictures have life to them. To often I'll see art, though techinicaly well done, lacks a certain fire to it. I do my best to make sure I have that. I am glad you like my stuff and would love to put together some pics for you when you are ready.

Opps nearly forgot. Here is a pic of a character from Exalted.

All right. Here is the link to catfolk in the WotC Art Gallery.

Frukathka one more question. What kind of equipment and colours will be wanted for this pic? Oh and and over all pose too. Thanks

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Let the picture of my sister inspire you to draw it however you please. The only thing I request is minimalist clothing (like a bustier) and making sure the tail is visible.

Excellent!

While I'm waiting for my players' descriptions, and after you finish with Frukatha's request, I've another for you...

This is a character I will soon be playing in the Red Hand of Doom D&D adventure module:

Sir Haervui "Harvey" Reginar, Constable of Drellin's Ferry
5th level Knight

Sir Harvey grew up as the fourth child of seven of a minor noble of the Empire. With little chance of inheriting anything of worth, Sir Harvey set sail across the ocean to the distant colonies of the Wild Coast to earn his fortune by virtue of his own wits and skills.

He first joined the garrison of Breakstone Keep as a squire, where he learned to fight with sword and shield. Over the years, he served there with distinction, eventually becoming knighted and renowned as a leader of men.

Now that Elsir Vale, the valley beyond the pass that Breakstone Keep guards, has filled with new colonists, Sir Harvey has been sent to the small town of Drellin's Ferry as Constable to oversee the construction and garrisoning of suitable defenses to protect the town and the whole of Elsir Vale from barbarian tribes.

He's only just beginning drawing up plans for a keep and city walls, when the horde of the Red Hand invades.

~

Sir Harvey is a leader of men. Though not especially charming, per se, people have a tendency to do what he tells them to.

Sir Harvey is also a protector of men. By the very nature of his training and his position, he considers it his highest duty to ensure that anyone under his command comes homes alive.

Sir Harvey always leads from the front, and never orders any of his men to do anything he wouldn't.

Sir Harvey is not so proud to never admit when he was wrong, or never withdraw (inevitably to regroup, replan and try again) when things go badly.

Off hours, he's good-natured and friendly. On the job, he's all business, no nonsense, don't beat around the bush, get the job done and get it done right.

Sir Harvey is veteran soldier in his early thirties. He is roughly six-foot tall with dark hair and blue eyes. He weighs a lean and muscular 200 pounds. When prepared for duty, Sir Harvey can be seen wearing the functionally utilitarian gear of a working frontier knight... A durable breastplate, his trusty hand-and-half broadsword and a servicable heavy steel shield.

All in all, Sir Harvey is the epitome of an Imperial Knight, and an officer who is the very backbone of any troop he leads.

Great work, I like the energy behind it. Since you've been kind enough to take requests, I'll put my character into the mix. I'd love to see a visual of him beyond my mind's eye. The character is very tough to play, but alot of fun and quite interesting.

Shaladin
The rough blindfold wrapped around the old man’s eyes (55 years old or so) are what most notice at first. He is of average height with a wiry frame, and time has brought no stoop or slouch to his shoulders. His body language is one of tension and control, like a tightly wound metal cord. Shaladin’s face, once handsome and noble (in his youth, he looked like Armand in the movie version of Interview with the Vampire), is now hardened with the passing of the years. His features stand in contrast with others his age from this desert land though, he has none of the wrinkles and roughness they develop. He shaves his head daily and covers himself in a draping aba (desert robes) that was once of the highest quality, but are now worn and slightly torn. His arms are tattoo-scarred with strange runes, raised up in a morbid relief. In his hand, the old man holds a long thin staff made of the weathered bone of some ancient and unknown creature. Lastly, the observant will notice the somewhat hidden monstrous desert-spider (18” across or so) hanging from the many folds of the aba. Both the spider and Shaladin seem comfortable with each other. (This familiar, a tiny spider, will often touch the earth with it’s two front appendages while it hangs from the aba to assist with it’s tremorsense ability).

Thanks, anything would be tremendously appreciated!

Two requests

First request is for a young African tribal shaman. Character is about 26 YOA, VERY tall and fairly muscular, generally wears loose-fitting cotton breeches, a short sleeved shirt, black leather jack (half-sleeved vest), a leather neck collar and sandals. I'm envisioning a sort-of 16th century look but with tribal runes and sigils on the neck collar and jack.

Second request is for a mature knight / paladin. Character is about 35 YOA with a dark-haired mediterranian look. Should be wearing NO helmet, half-plate upper armor (armor plating over the chest and upper torso including pauldrons and greaves and chain over the lower torso, draping over the upper thighs), legs should be plate as well including feet with spurs. If possible he should be riding or leading a similarly outfitted horse.

THis is fine, fine stuff.

Only request is that there be more of it posted, and soon.


Love the pencilwork!
